Kipiler [Kopyl] Young Men's Benevolent
Association,1958-71

contributed by Jerry Seligsohn

NOTE: It has been discovered that
this society’s founders were from Kupel, Ukraine, and not from Kopyl, Belarus as previously stated.

Arranged by the YIVO archivists in a box are two ledgers containing the
business minutes of the organization recorded in Yiddish and a record of the
dues payments of the membership. The names given below are from the recording of
the dues payments. These were written in a haphazard manner. First names were
often left unnoted. Name spellings changed from page to page and often appeared
to be phonetic scribbles rather than accurate spellings. Some names were so
illegible that they were excluded from the list. Other names were recorded as
reasonable guesses. It is advised that the viewer exercise caution in
reading the names on the list. Do not assume that the spelling is correct. But
do not exclude a name you are looking for because of the spelling.
